Apple cinnamon baked oatmeal

This breakfast is a delicious, wholesome cross between oatmeal and apple crumble. It’s ideal for colder mornings, because of the warm, comforting combination of apple and cinnamon, and the oats that give an energising start to the day.

Apple cinnamon baked oatmeal

Convenience: 15 mins to prepare ~ 40 mins to bake

Serves: about 6

Ingredients

200 g (2 cups) rolled or jumbo oats

5 tbsp brown sugar (or 2 tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 cup maple syrup)

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

500 ml (2 cups) non-dairy milk

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce (optional*)

3 apples, chopped into 1-2 cm chunks

*Unsweetened apple sauce (apple puree) can be hard to find if you’re in the UK. It’s fine to leave it out of this recipe.

As far as I know, none of the ingredients are harmful to the environment.

Apples, oats, and non-dairy milk can be pretty cheap. The recipe is more expensive if you’re using maple syrup, but that’s completely optional.

Healthy. Oats have a low glycemic index, giving long lasting energy. Also, the soluble fibre in oats is supposed to be good for the heart. Apples are, of course, very healthy. To make this breakfast extra healthy, just cut down the added sugar.
